I'm wearing a bright red halter dress to my grad, and I'm looking for an orchid to wear in my hair. What colour would be best? Keep in mind the dress is entirely fire engine red. My hair is about shoulder length and blonde, but I will have it cut and styled for grad. I'm very fair as well, and my eyes are a greyish blue. I know absolutely nothing about flowers, help!
What colour orchid goes best with a bright red dress?
Probably white, any other color would clash. Unless you can find a red orchid the EXACT red as your dress, then I would go with white. =]
Reply:A white orchid would look great - it would soften the look of the bright red dress, while not detracting from it. It would also look wonderful with blond hair.
Hope I helped! :]]]
Reply:White of course! Or Black.
I always wear red dresses and it's either black or white for me, and then I coordinate with my shoes and purse.
You should wear gloves they're so classy but that's just me I love gloves.
Rockabilly Rules! -Bettie C.
Reply:definately go with white because the dress will pop out and her hair coour will also be flattered
Reply:Pink.

Can you be allergic to orchid pollen?
I was at a friends house yesterday, and whenever i went into the kitchen or bathroom (where she has an orchid) i started sneezing like crazy cos of my hayfever. Only problem is, i looked it up on the internet and it said orchids don't release pollen into the air like trees or grass, but attract insects to pollinate them, but i don't know what else it could have been....
Can you be allergic to orchid pollen?
You can allergic to anything that you allergic to. Some people allergic to bees and fire ants. One of my friends have a severe allergic to fire ants, she have to hospitalize when she got bit by them. I was covered with them sometimes when I worked in my garden, I was fine. I get bit by many things that poison to someone else, I also doing fine. Good thing for you is, now you know one of the things you allergic to without a test. Your friend save you money there for that test. Now you know to not go near the orchid.
Reply:It looks like orchids and you don't get along. A person can be allergic to anything, even water.
Reply:You can be allergic to any pollen.
Reply:You can be allergic to anything that your body does not like.

How to encourage my moth orchid to flower?
I have a Phal. (moth orchid). I water weekly and feed it monthly. It gets light via flourescent bulb, because not much sun comes into my apartment. It's maintained in about 60-70 degree temp. The leaves are lush, and the roots are very healthy. I use a formulated orchid fertilizer....My only problem is that the flowers, after I got the plant, fell off after 2 weeks...I cut the spike, and now 3 months later, all I was able to acheive was root growth and a new leaf. My plant just won't flower for me...
How to encourage my moth orchid to flower?
Most orchids have a foliage growing phase and a leaf growing phase. Your orchid should grow a leaf, then be ready for another flower
If its a phalaenopsis, it will need cooler night temperatures and the shortening of day length. Try putting it in a location where you get cooler nights (but not too cold!)...Below 65 F should do the trick.
Reply:Your orchid likely won't bloom again until next year. You can encourage it by re-potting it. Other than that, it appears you are doing everything right.
Reply:Could be the flowers fell off due to change in environment. Phals will flower when ready, usually summer, provided they receive proper light and temperature. You know about the rule for fertilization, weekly, weakly. Weekly at 1/2 strength recommended. Also the type of growing medium will dictate which fertilizer to use, ie. higher nitrogen content when using bark .All About Growing Orchids, Ortho Books, is a nice inexpensive general reference book.

Will my Phalaenopsis Newberry Parfait orchid ever bloom again?
I made a huge mistake with my orchid, I cut the entire bloom stem off last summer when the last flowering finished. The base plant is healthy %26amp; has lots of vigorous new growth, no sign of insect infestation, but there is also no sign of a new bloom stem either. I feed it with scotts orchid food every time I water except once a month I soak the clay pot in plain water %26amp; scrub off the salt deposits. Is there anything I can do to stimulate a new bloom stem?
Will my Phalaenopsis Newberry Parfait orchid ever bloom again?
When did the plant start flowering last time? If it was in Feb. or March, you may not see a spike starting until at least Thanksgiving, perhaps Christmas. Phals are pretty regular yearly bloomers, either winter blooming types (Christmas through early spring start) or summer bloomers (June through Sept. start).
Cutting off the flower stem is not a big mistake. On some types, cutting a green stem will sacrifice a second bloom, or even a baby plant- but just on a quick check, I don't think Newberry Parfait has the parentage to be likely to do either of those. (the small, multibranched phals will do those, it's fun!). Cutting a brown, dried stem is never a mistake.
If you don't see a bloom spike starting in the next couple of months, you may want to check your light- not enough light is the most common cause for a healthy phal not blooming. If you're familiar with African violets, you want to give the phal enough light so that the AV's leaves cup and curl from too much light. I grow phals under fluorescents- 2- 2-tube shoplights (4 tubes total) about 12-18" above the plant.
Good luck!
Okay- sounds like a summer bloomer, then. So the spike will probably not start until mid-late spring. Until then, the plant will be putting its energy into lots of pretty new leaves and roots. A southern exposure should be enough light- if the leaves start looking kind of hard, really pale green, and shrunken, you may want to put a lace curtain or something to filter the light.
Reply:phalenopsis make flowers just one time on year!be patient ,don't move the plant from the place where is flowering and never again cut the stem!!!good chance!
Reply:Try "starving" it. Sometimes plants and trees will bloom when "they think" survival is in danger. Cut back on the plant food. Don't let it dry out to the point of endangering the plant, but try to trick the plant into thinking it is in danger.
My grandmother had a similar plant many years ago. She feed it every time she watered. Then one time she ran out of food, and my grandfather could not remember to pick any up. The plant got water, but no food. 6 weeks later it bloomed and amazed all of us!
Good luck!

Reply:you have to make sure it is getting enough sunlight. you may be over feeding it, they suggest once a week when it is getting ready to bloom
